.MaddowBlog: When it comes to the Jan. 6 attack, Sen. Johnson has an FBI conspiracy theory he doesn't repeat 'publicly.' It reached the public anyway. As is usually the case, the missing ingredient is evidence.
But Johnson's ideas about the Jan. 6 attack are especially striking. TheA Republican senator suggested in a private conversation Saturday, without evidence, that the FBI knew more about the planning before the Jan. 6 Capitol riot than it has revealed so far, according to a video obtained by The Washington Post. The comments from Sen. Ron Johnson , made after a political event at a Wauwatosa, Wis.
The reference to Michigan militias was a likely reference to last year's alleged kidnapping plot targeting Gov. Gretchen Whitmer , involving right-wing radicals whose group had been infiltrated by undercover law-enforcement officials.

FBI agent used photos of female office staff as bait in sex trafficking sting -reportAn FBI agent faces potential disciplinary measures after an investigation by the Justice Department's internal watchdog revealed he allegedly asked a female support staffer to provide 'provocative' photos of herself that he used as bait in an undercover sex-trafficking operation. In a memo on Monday, Inspector General Michael Horowitz said the investigation led his office to discover that the agent's conduct was not an isolated incident, and there were also other cases in which agents have asked female office staff to pose as minor children or sex workers in undercover operations. While their faces were blurred and they remained clothed, Horowitz said the staff whose photos were used were not certified undercover or covert employees.
